Secondary charcters in LLIT are main characters in LSI2. Also, they both have sci-fi elements and a somewhat similar quirkiness about them.

Both are mini dramas with the same actors as the ML and FL, and both have great chemistry. FL is their reunion after MR.

Both are visually stunning gothic horror romances directed by Guo Jingming. This particular director has a distinctive visual storytelling style that's present in all of his works.

Milklove is on the first episode of this. It's also a stand-alone sequel to their story from Bad Buddy. It'd be worth giving this a try before/after jumping into 23.5.

This is Milklove's first series as a couple. While they do not have as much screentime, this series did give viewers the chance to experience Milklove's chemistry for the first time.

Both are based on novels written by the same author, and the backdrop is the same academically illustrious high school, Zhenhua. There are several similarities between the two, the MLs and FLs have a lovely contrast in character, not in the same ways, but in both stories are initially presented as completely different people who slowly learn about their similarities to each other. The relationship of the ML/FL in All These Years also showcases how they relied on one another to get by troubling times. They’re both bittersweet but captivating stories. All These Years is a heavier story with a lighter ending.

They are both Thai series centered on relationships between sapphic couples. They do capture different settings, but it seems like a better recommendation for people who are interested in seeing more GL series.
